Final fate

"To wear the gauntlet is painful. But it's worth it, worth it to destroy the likes of you!"

—Mozenrath

Mozenrath's Gauntlet is an object owned by the evil sorcerer Mozenrath. Like Jafar's Snake Staff, this is Mozenrath's main source of power that he uses in his quest for world domination.

Powers and Abilities

Sorcery: Mozenrath is able to activate bursts of flame that injures his opponents quite badly even some as powerful as Genie. He can also summon his zombie soldiers; the Mamluks, and control anything that is in the Land of Black Sand.

He can even harness its power to make himself stronger.

Telekinesis: Gives the ability to control objects with his mind, one such time was when he tried to control the sun in a lost city in the desert.

Mozenrath is powerless without wearing his gauntlet, and in spite of its abilities, after a continuous wearing of the gauntlet, the flesh underneath it rotted away leaving him with only a skeletal arm which he can still control its limbs and drained his body of energy slowly killing himself.

Appearances

As a recurring villain in the Aladdin television series, Mozenrath was always seen wearing the gauntlet on his right hand assisting him in his nefarious schemes and spells for world domination.

His gauntlet was removed for the first time in the episode Black Sand and the arm and hand is seen as nothing more than a skeleton. In "The Lost City of the Sun" in which Aladdin, Genie, Abu and Iago looked at Mozenrath's skeletal limb in squeamish disgust, Mozenrath explains that whilst Aladdin had Genie's power "delivered to him on a silver platter", he lost the flesh on his right arm by wanting power himself. The sprites hid the removed gauntlet and hid it far out into the desert, Mozenrath screamed with rage and along with Xerxes desperately began digging trying to find it.

In his final appearance "Two to Tangle", Mozenrath revealed that the power of the gauntlet was draining his body of energy leaving him with not much time left to live. He decides to kidnap Aladdin to switch bodies with him, which makes Mozenrath's original body turn into a stone figurine and leaving his gauntlet behind.

It is then placed along with the figurine in a trunk, but Mozenrath, who is controlling Aladdin's body from within steals it back, but then they decide to reverse the spell with Mozenrath insisting that Aladdin wears the gauntlet if they are to succeed in obtaining the Elixir of Life.

They eventually retrieve it, but Mozenrath wants full possession of Aladdin's body and fights him from within with Aladdin emerging victorious. Aladdin drinks the elixir and Mozenrath leaves Aladdin's body returning to the stone figurine of his own body before being locked in a cage along with Xerxes by Genie. The sorcerer demands his gauntlet back, but Aladdin refuses saying that it's bad for his health, taking it away from him for good before Genie sends the balloon attached to the cage up into the air.

It is unknown what happened to it afterwards, but it assumed that it was either destroyed or hidden away somewhere where no one would use it again.
